Strip: Resisting the urge to start over

Well its warm in the garage again and its time to get back to the boat. I've completed the stripping of the hull, and am 2/3 through buinding the cockpit recess of my Guillimont 17. But there is a problem.

I can do better. I know I can. Tighter strips, more interesting patterns. Just better. This was my first strip boat and I can make it beautiful. But its not now. At least in my hyea. By the time I got to stripping the deck I was pretty fast and pretty good at stripping. So why not start over? If I do I can be back to the same place in a month and a half. This time building w/o staples.

Have any of you have these same thoughts?
